Thanks for the info. So far I have connected the modem and it is |
27 |
recognized by the kernel; so I think I have what is needed as far as |
28 |
kernel configuration goes. Support for usb modems is still not in wicd |
29 |
therefore I am replacing wicd by networkmanager which apparently works |
30 |
with this modem under ubuntu. Will post more as I troubleshoot this. One |
31 |
thing is the authentication type. The modem works with 3G and 4G |
32 |
networks; apparently only 3G is supported by CDC ACM??? I've got the |
33 |
modem activated and its firmware upgraded using a Windows Vista laptop; |
34 |
so I know the modem works. Also most places I've been to only have 3G |
35 |
network; don't know what is going to happen in a 4G area. |
